Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. This is a nicely preserved issue of the March 1903 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine" . There is a lot to digest in this old periodical. The word beauty must have been making the rounds in the editorial office, for there are Two articles addressing said word : "Beauty in the Modern Chorus", and "Beauty and the Woman of Fifty". Both are illustrated with photographs of lovely women. On a more serious front, apiece on "The Police Systems of Europe" by Avery D. Andrews (who had been Police Commissioner of New York). Surprising to see the bicycle usage in Europe for officers of the law; the article is illustrated with photographs. "Mankind in the Making", a serialized work by H. G. Wells, is continued. A feature on European artist Franz Von Lembach should be interesting to those who are aware of him. There is plenty of fiction, and a smattering of poetry, and a great deal of period advertising, covering just about anything you could imagine, including automobiles, cameras, typewriters, fashion, foods, medical curiosities, and more.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. This is a well preserved copy of the February 1893 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine". For many collectors and fans of science fiction, the main thing in this issue is an early science fiction story by Julian Hawthorne titled "June 1993" in which the protagonist visits the United States 100 years in the future. That meant 1993. The author imagines a vastly different world, including boat-like vehicles that travel through the air, high above the landscape. In one of the fine illustrations by Dan Beard (of Boy Scouts fame) a group of people are on a luxury cruise in the flying boat. They look much like an assortment of hippies and bohemians. Julian Hawthorne was the son of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody. See the Table of Contents, provided below for a complete list of the issue's contents. There is also a huge amount of Victorian era advertising, of which I've only been able to show a small portion. TABLE OF CONTENTS * Frontispiece : a halftone photo portrait of James G. Blaine * Monte Carlo - by H. C. Farnham (illus. by halftone photos) * After Mist in Winter - a poem by Archibald Lampman * The Beet-Root Industry - by H. S. Adams (illustrated by halftone photos) * Oriental Rugs - by S. G. W. Benjamin (illus. by halftone photos) * Toki Murata - a story of Japan by Mrs. Sewell Read (illus. by George Wharton Edwards) * James G. Blaine - by T. C. Crawford (illus. by halftone photos) * I Know Not if I Love thee - a poem * The Evolution of Naval Construction - by S. Eardley-Wilmot (illus. by line drawings and halftone photos -- shown are photos of the "Agincourt", the "Monarch", the "Alexandra", and a massive "Dreadnought") * JUNE 1993" … AN EARLY SCIENCE FICTION STORY BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE (Line drawings by Dan Beard) * The Unillumined Verge - a poem by Robert Bridges * Democracy and the Mother Tongue - by John Coleman Adams (illus by a line drawing) * The Great Railway Systems of the United States : The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe - by Charles S.
